| Introduction | I have been retired for about seven years now. I enjoy retirement immensely as it gives me time to pursue my interests. One of my interests is model railroading. I have been interested in this hobby for many years as I got my first electric train when I was three. The layout I have now I started about eighteen years ago. This has provided me with many hours of pleasure. Another of my interests is painting. I began by painting backdrops for my model railroad. I then started painting landscapes, still lifes, and have painted three portraits. Recently I got a lot of barnboard and have been painting on it, creating yard art. My wife and I enjoy going to plays and see as many as we can. We are fortunate that we have several excellent local theatres within driving distance of our home. I also enjoy musicals. I have seen Miss Saigon and Rent recently. Gardening, church work, and reading also keeps me busy. I enjoy many types of literature, but have been reading mystery novels lately. Within the past two years I have read all of the Tony Hillerman novels and all of the Sue Grafton mystery novels. Both are excellent writers. |
